# Do Corporate Regulations Deter or Stimulate Investment? The Effect of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention on FDI 
## [Lorenzo Crippa, University of Glasgow](https://lorenzo-crippa.github.io)

### Description
The project studies the effect of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention on firms' foreign investment decisions. It mainly performs an analysis of firms' choices of investment locations, then corroborates the study with dyadic country-level analyses. The code allows to replicate all materials reported in the paper.

### Project folders
The replication package contains the following folders:
- `code` contains the R scripts to replicate the analyses. They should run in the order in which they are numbered.
- `data` contains the data used by the analysis
- `plots` is where plots are stored
- `tables` is where tables are saved

### R scripts
- To replicate Figure 2 (on US FCPA enforcement), run `01-enforcement.R`
- To replicate section 4.1 and Appendix C through F, run `02-firm_analysis.R`
- To replicate section 4.2 and Appendix G through J, run `03-dyad_analysis.R`
- To replicate Appendix B, run `04-ratification_analysis.R`
